5. Adjust your transition
You will need to determine the best type of transition to use to go from one track to the next. Depending on the phrases you selected, one type of transition may work better than another. For example, if you are transitioning from the end of a chorus to the beginning of a verse, a cut transition may work better than a fade.
On the other hand, if you’re mixing house music and transitioning from the outro of one track to the first verse of another, a fade transition may be more appropriate.
There is no right or wrong way to transition between two tracks – it’s more of an art to select an appropriate transition style. The genre you mix can play a factor in determining the type of transition to use.
